Canadiens' Penalty Killing Killed the Season
February 19th, 2020 It was not the injury to Jonathan Drouin or Paul Byron that derailed the Montreal Canadiens' season. You can't blame the power play or the lack of that elusive star centre either. It was the penalty kill that really sunk the team's hopes. But wait! Don't leave. I know it sounds ridiculous and not sexy, but let me explain....
Canadiens' Youth Movement Gamble Doesn't Pay Off
February 5th, 2020 Marc Bergevin's retool is a gamble that hasn't paid off. The Montreal Canadiens' general manager sold the retool to his fanbase as a magic process that would have two simultaneous outcomes - developing young players, and winning.

These numbers put Weber in good company with the league's...
Canadiens' Problems Start in the Crease
November 30th, 2019 I promised myself I would not write bad stuff about the Montreal Canadiens. Mired in a terrible stretch of hockey with only three wins in their last 10 games, it's easy to join the mob of angry fans. But I want to abstain for now. So, I deleted the piece I started about general manager Marc Bergevin's failings, and filed away the one...
